An intelligent, high-performance logistics manager for Factorio 2.0 recyclers. Automatically routes and balances items based on logistics network surplus and custom limits, keeping your recycling loops efficient and lag-free.
Features
- Automated Surplus Recycling: Monitors your logistics networks for surplus items and dynamically commands adjacent recyclers to process them.
- Custom & Global Thresholds: Set a global recycling threshold (e.g. keep at least 2,000 of everything) or set custom limits for specific items and qualities directly inside the Brain GUI.
- Hysteresis & Anti-Thrashing: Uses a two-pass task allocation scheduler to prevent recipe thrashing, ensuring recyclers finish their current batch before switching tasks.
- Network Isolation: Automatically respects independent logistics networks. Brains only see and interact with chests on their physical networks.
- Operations Monitor: View real-time active tasks, recycler statuses (Idle, Recycling, Finishing), coordinates, and specific deficit targets. Includes GPS pings for easy map navigation.
- Built for Scale: Runs on a cooperative slicing scheduler (15-tick updates, limited operations per tick) to maintain low CPU overhead even in massive megabases.
Setup
- Place a Recycler Brain near your recyclers.
- Place a Requester Chest adjacent to the recyclers (with inserters feeding the recyclers).
- Open the Recycler Brain GUI, configure your thresholds, and watch the logistics manager coordinate your recycling pipeline.
